Well you're wrong anyway. Taurus International Manufacturing Inc. has been producing Taurus brand firearms in Miami, Florida, USA since about 1984.

Stuff it. :cool:

It says "Made in Brazil" right on the side of it...

Im pretty sure that the Taurus home office is in Miami...but the gun isn't made there.

My specific pistol has been to Miami, Florida for warranty work. I mailed, via Fed Ex, to Miami, Fl. Now- unless the folks in Miami literally sent my pistol to Brazil; to be disassembled and repaired, shipped back to Miami, only to be shipped back to Colorado.... Unless that happened; my pistol is assembled in the USA. The pistol was completely broken down to Brazilian made parts; and completely "produced" or "assembled" in the United States of America. I guess I can't speak for all Taurus firearms.

You can bet your bottom dollar that an American worked with my pistol; an American family benefited with that paycheck; etc. etc. American Flag is well placed. Well placed.

I was j/k...I may or may not have owned several Taurus pistols. Two of the three were excellent, the other was a dud (PT145). I really miss the PT111 Pro that I never had.

It's actually a TacticalLink version of it (SGC was out of the Magpul's in store when I was shopping.) Pretty much the same thing as the Magpul one, but I actually think it mounts and holds on a little better. So far though, I love it. It really does make a difference in handling.

@Glock34

I LOVE YOUR M1A!

In my opinion, the M1A/M14 is "THE" magazine fed rifle.

It is the standard by which I measure all others against (nothing ever measures up)

there is not one thing I do not love about it!

Your logic is faulty... At best. Yesterday I completely disassembled myNorinco SKS, inspected, cleaned and reassembled it (it didn't need repair, it's an SKS). All with my very own twoborn in the USAhands in my very own made in the USA house right here smack in the middle ofSouth Carolina, USA.

The SKS is still, always has been and always will bemade in China.

And your Taurus was still made in Brazil. That's a fact.



P.S. A good friend of mine has had the opportunity to tour Taurus HQ in Miami. He said the a large percentage of the shop employees are Cuban nationals. Using your logic, your gun might be made in Cuba. Oh my!

I had so many chances to buy one when I worked at the gun store, but I always ended up using my paychecks to buy some other gun. You can get them for about $ 1000.00 all day long. Maybe next year , I will add a Delta Elite 10mm to my collection.

I would get the blued model. This Novak special edition, is on gunbroker now for $ 3000.00
